Okay here’s the deal: I have one child who has been through the wringer, medically speaking.  Shouldn’t my other child be completely healthy?  Doesn’t that make sense?  Apparently we didn’t get dealt those cards.  Don’t get me wrong, Mason is a pretty healthy little guy.  Although he had his first surgery for pyloric stenosis at 5 weeks of age. If you do a little math with me, Emma had been in the PICU herself just 4 months prior (I was 7 months pregnant when she got her diagnosis). He recovered fully and hasn’t stopped eating since then!  At age 10 months he got tubes in his ears for his chronic ear infections.  I’m sure like 99% of kids have had tubes…no big deal!  Emma had them, they were the best thing in the world!  Mason’s fell our around a year ago.  And in that year, he’s had 7 more ear infections.  So tomorrow we go back in for another set of ear tubes AND adenoid removal.  Now I know the whole surgery itself takes about 5 minutes, but STILL!  Can my new deal be that after tomorrow he’s completely healthy forever and ever?  Please?
